Does anyone have the Code and Declarations necessary to play
MP3 Files in VB6? This must be done without the Windows Media
Player Console becoming visible. Much the same way that .wav files
are handled in VB6.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Rod,
You are aware that you can set the Windows Media Player object to run
invisibly, aren't you?

I didn't know that. Do you have the Code to do that as well as
the other Code I requested? Many Thanks... Rod.

I had initially thought that using MP3 Audio Files
in VB6 was much the same as that for the .wav and .mid
Files I have been using for some years now which only
require a Module Declaration and Procedures such as
Soundsub and Playsound. I was further misled by double-clicking
on an MP3 File within Windows Explorer and seeing an Audio Console
appear which played the File. It was this Audio Console that
I was referring to when specifying that I did not want
this visible when the MP3 Files were played.

I now find that I was completely off track altogether. One
respondent referred to the ability to make the Player
invisible when running it. After thinking about this, I
suspected that possibly a VB Control was involved. I found
the Microsoft Multimedia Control 6.0 (SP3) [MCI32.ocx]
in Project/Components. Once I had this Control on the Form,
I was then able to derive the necessary Code from the
Properties and the Pop UP Menus which appear when writing
the Code. All is now working OK. This issue is resolved.
Many thanks... Rod.
